Chapter 536 Fate is Hard to Defy
Chapter 536 Fate is Hard to Defy
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Master Lin!"
Zhou Jiumei hesitated for a moment, then quickly recovered and nodded.
"Alright, let's start with acupuncture!"
I didn't give Guo Meiqi another chance to speak. Given her personality, if I let her continue, who knows what kind of outrageous things she might say!
"Sister, my acupuncture technique does not suppress evil spirits or exorcise demons; it is specifically designed to warm the Yang, unblock the meridians, dispel cold, nourish the heart, strengthen the body, and calm the mind."
"A course of treatment lasts seven days. Let's start with seven days of treatment and see how it goes. If it's effective, you can come back every three months!"
I spoke as I dropped the needle.
Baihui strengthens the original qi, Tanzhong regulates qi, Xinshu calms the mind, Shenshu warms the bones, Sanyinjiao expels turbidity, and Zusanli tonifies yang.
I explained each stitch to Zhou Jiumei.
When inserting the needle, a special technique is needed to shake the needle tail. In a more mystical sense, this is to infuse internal energy and warm the acupoints. In a more practical sense, it is to stimulate the acupoints, activate the body's endogenous energy, that is, yang energy, to expel the stagnant yin and cold energy in the body, and to clear the obstructed qi and blood.
"My hands and feet don't feel so cold anymore!"
After placing the needle, Zhou Jiumei's eyes lit up.
"Sister, this is your first time getting this treatment. The results will get better with each subsequent treatment!" I said.
After speaking, I hesitated for a moment, glanced at Fatty Lin, and said, "Sister, the reports about Master Lin are actually biased. I don't know about other things, but one thing I'm sure of is that his massage techniques, combined with his unique qi circulation methods, can indeed effectively expel negative energy from the body!"
This is the truth.
Fatty Lin was very attentive to those who came to him for treatment the first two times.
Fatty Lin explained this, saying that with his technique and skill, he could usually solve the problem in two sessions.
Even after the problem was solved, he was still asked to undergo further treatment. What he was seeking wasn't the treatment itself, but rather the feeling he craved.
Fatty Lin said he had been immersed in Taoist spiritual practices for many years and his knowledge of acupoints was no worse than mine. He had plenty of ways to help them find the feeling, so there was no need to waste his energy.
I have only one word for his statement: I'm impressed.
Half an hour later, I put away the needles one by one and said, "Sister, I have removed a lot of the superficial cold in your body and most of the turbid yin energy in your meridians. Your qi and blood are temporarily flowing smoothly, but the layer of innate yin cold deep in your bones is still unmoved and deeply rooted."
"This is beyond my ability to resolve; it's up to our Master Lin!"
As I spoke, I pointed at Fatty Lin.
I'm not praising Fatty Lin; I'm just telling the truth.
Taking care of one's health is really physically demanding, which is why Fatty Lin charges such high prices.
The reason why the wealthy ladies of Hong Kong Island and some rich widows flocked to Fatty Lin wasn't just for that purpose. To be honest, if they wanted to enjoy themselves, they would have preferred male models.
With their wealth, what kind of male model couldn't they find!
They recognized Fatty Lin because he could genuinely improve their health.
Rich people aren't stupid!
"Sister, you can rest assured about my cooking skills!" Fatty Lin said casually.
Fatty Lin spoke quite seriously and earnestly, but for some reason, no matter how serious his words were, they always carried a hint of frivolity when they came out of his mouth.
"Alright, Sister Lingling, Fatty's going to do a bloodletting massage for Ah Mei, let's not watch here anymore!" Guo Meiqi rolled her eyes and pulled Liu Lingling outside.
Long Nier and I exchanged a glance, said nothing, and followed them out, leaving the room to Zhou Jiumei and Fatty Lin.
After we came out, I looked back, frowned, and said to Liu Lingling, "Sister Lingling, there's something I'm not sure if I should say!"
"Go ahead!" Liu Lingling gestured for me to speak, indicating that I shouldn't hold back.
I thought for a moment and said, "Sister Lingling, whether it's my acupuncture to clear the meridians or Fatty's bloodletting massage, they can only treat the symptoms, stabilize the blood pressure, and strengthen the foundation. They can only temporarily dispel the superficial coldness in Sister Lingling, but they can't touch the root of her congenital coldness in her bone marrow and her inherently weak destiny."
"Didn't you just say that the rest would depend on Xiaolin's bloodletting and uterine manipulation?" Liu Lingling asked hurriedly.
"Sister Lingling, don't worry!" I comforted Liu Lingling and said, "You know that Sister Mei's fate is like this from the beginning. She is born with a Yin fate. Even if she takes care of herself every year and strengthens her Yang every day, it can only delay her decline and cannot reverse her fate."
"Today, the fat man performed a bloodletting procedure on her to temporarily dispel the coldness in her bone marrow, but it won't last long; the coldness will regenerate!"
"Moreover, as she gets older, the yang energy in her body gradually declines. As the yang energy recedes, the yin coldness in her bones increases year by year, slowly eroding her heart meridian and depleting her essence and spirit!"
"What we're doing now is merely delaying the onslaught of the cold and dampness into the heart!"
There are some things I can't say to my sister's face, but I can say them to Liu Lingling.
To be honest, it's already quite remarkable that my sister has lived to this age.
Given her constitution, anyone else would have collapsed long ago because of it.
She's been able to live this long for two reasons: first, she's famous and wealthy enough to have the resources to take care of her health; second, she has friends like Liu Lingling, who have helped her find mentors over the years.
"Why!"
Liu Lingling remained silent for a long while, then exhaled and said, "Thirteen, I actually know what you're saying, I just don't want to accept it!"
"Sister Lingling, you don't need to worry too much. With us here, we'll treat Sister Mei once every six months or a year. I can't guarantee she'll live another ten years!"
I said.
"But there's one thing to note: the heart is most vulnerable to cold and dampness. Given your condition, if you don't take precautions, your heart will develop problems sooner or later. So, you must make sure your sister doesn't stay up late, avoids cold and damp places, and avoids cold and dampness, as well as overwork!"
"In that case, while I can't say that Sister Bao is completely safe, as I just said, she should be able to live another ten or twenty years!"
I added.
"Oh, right, one more thing, you should all try to persuade my sister not to have any more children. Her health can't withstand the strain!"
"If she gets pregnant, not only will she lose the baby, but she herself could also get into problems because of it!"
"I understand!" Liu Lingling sighed again.
Most women want a child of their own, and not being able to have children is a huge blow to them.
Even if you tell your sister about this, you should do it tactfully.
After this was said, the atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.
An hour later, Fatty Lin helped Zhou Jiu Mei out.
Compared to when we came out, Zhou Jiumei's complexion was noticeably rosier.
In contrast, Fatty Lin seemed a bit weak; you could tell he had really put in the effort and worked hard.
I poured Zhou Jiumei a cup of tea, went over the precautions I had mentioned earlier, and scheduled an acupuncture session for tomorrow. The three of them then said goodbye and left.
As for having children, I didn't say anything.
"It's a pity. She was born with cold bones. She can stay stable for a while, but not forever. With her constitution, she will inevitably damage her heart meridians when she gets old. It's her destiny."
After Zhou Jiumei left, Fatty Lin stood by the window and looked down, feeling a bit sentimental.
There's a saying that goes something like this: all sorts of curses in the world can be resolved, but the innate destiny is the hardest to defy.
